Film Deaths[]

TV Deaths[]

  • The Young Ones: Sick (1984) [Neil Pye]: Hit on the head with a shovel by Rik Mayall; after being buried in the garden, three new Nigels grow out of the ground. (The whole thing turns out to be Rik's dream sequence.) (Played for comic effect.)
  • The Young Ones: Summer Holiday (1984) [Neil Pye]: Killed in an explosion (along with Adrian Edmondson, Rik Mayall, and Christopher Ryan) when their bus blows up shortly after going over a cliff, immediately after they survive the crash and exclaim "Whew, that was close!" (Due to the series' comedic nature, it's unclear whether or not this was intended to be fatal; however, since it was the final episode of the series, I'll list it just in case.) (Again, played for comic effect.)
  • Blackadder the Third: Nob and Nobility (1987) [Lord Smedley a.k.a. Madame La Guillotine a.k.a. the Scarlet Pimpernel]: Poisoned when Rowan Atkinson gives him some poisoned wine in the jail cell, haven mistaken Nigel for one of the French captors; he dies after explaining the poison's symptoms, unaware that he's also demonstrating the symptoms as he does so. (Played for comic effect.)
  • The Last Detective: Three Steps to Hendon (2005) [Gerry Jameson]: Commits suicide (off-screen) by stepping into the path of an oncoming car; his body is shown afterwards (covered by a sheet) when Peter Davison arrives at the scene.
  • Hogfather (2006; TV movie) [Mr. Sideney]: Slashed to death (off-screen) by the Scissormen after the Tooth Fairy's magic causes his childhood fears to manifest; we only see the Scissormen's shadows on the wall as they close in on him.
  • Marcella: Episode 2.5 (2018) [Reg Reynolds]: Drowned (off-screen) after Keith Allen pushes him into a canal; we only see Nigel and Keith talking by the banks of the canal before the camera moves away, then see Keith standing by himself when the camera pans back.
  • Lockwood & Co: Doubt Thou the Stars (2023) [John Fairfax]: Dies after the ghost of Ishtar Currie-Wilson enters his body, while Nigel is holding Cameron Chapman and Ruby Stokes at gunpoint.
